Breathtaking Golf, in more ways than one!
DeBordieu's Course was once called, by a very funny golf writer: "Pete Dye without the whips and chains." However, you might walk away with a different opinion after playing DeBordieu's famous 17th hole.
"The course’s two last holes are as breathtaking as they are challenging and require both concentration and skill in order to score well. This hole doglegs to the right and it is there that you will find most of the danger. A long channel and marsh runs from tee to green. Drive your ball into the hill on the narrow fairway and try to stay left, for the fairway slopes down to the water. From here you will have a straight shot to the green, enveloped between a broad natural area and the channel to the right, and a series of mounds and pot bunkers on the left."
Consistently included in the area's "Dream 18," DeBordieu's 17th hole offers a few real estate opportunities. CLICK HERE, or on one of these pictures, and be taken to more details about Lot 21, right off the 17th tee. This special homesite offers a spectacular view of golf and water from the back, but from the front, it will also provide a view over the DeBordieu docks to the creeks and marshes of North Inlet and Winyah Bay! At just $249,000, it's a real value.

Not-So-Sweet Sixteen!
Can you pass the test of DeBordieu’s #16, just south of Pawleys Island, SC? The good news: NO WATER! The bad news: it’s still pretty brutal!
“Sixteen is a heroic par three that is a dry hole, but difficult nonetheless. Your tee shot must be straight, for two tall pines growing 20 yards out from the green – 60 yards apart – will punish both hook and slice. The green slopes toward the tees, so aim for the large oak in the distance, behind the green, and hope that there is no cross wind blowing as your swing. This is a truly great, if testing, golf hole.”

The Egrets! They're Baaa-aaack!
We encourage "nesting" at DeBordieu, in more ways than one! And there's no place the egrets in the neighborhood like better than "The Egret Tree" behind the MILLER HOUSE on Island Green. While showing the house today, I shot a little video:

Nesting is a natural instinct shared by birds and humans alike, when preparing a home for their families. In birds it is known as "going broody", and is characterized by the insistence to stay on the nest as much as possible, and by laying new eggs.
Egrets nest in colonies, building nests in medium-sized trees. The nests are built of small sticks, usually over or near water, and sometimes lined with softer materials like grasses. Usually, 3, pale bluish-green eggs are laid. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.
This colony of egrets is nesting in DeBordieu Colony, on a gorgeous tree, in the middle of a lagoon in the Island Green neighborhood, across the street from the beach.


The pictures were taken from the back porch of the Miller Home, which is an incredible value, currently for sale at $1,175,000.

Great Video of Loggerhead Laying Eggs at DeBordieu!
You don’t see this every day! A Loggerhead Sea Turtle laying her eggs in the broad daylight! Kudos to DeBordieu resident Jim Forshaw who took this video! Below is the account of the event from the www.DeBordieuScute.org website. Log on to get daily updates of turtle activities in the Pawleys Island area.
“We received a call from DeBordieu Security about 9:45 this morning. Jim Forshaw, a resident noticed a loggerhead coming out of the ocean in front of the Beach Villas and knew we would be interested. He said the turtle was beginning to nest!
When we arrived she was still clearing away sand and beginning to dig her chamber alternating hind flippers with scoops of sand. There were about 25 people observing and being careful to stay behind her. She started dropping her eggs in 2s and 3s. After a while, you could see the eggs at the top of the chamber. She then began the covering process and very carefully pushed the sand into the chamber, again alternating hind flippers and tamping down the sand. In the last stage, she began throwing sand with all 4 flippers in an effort to disguise the nest. As she did this she inched forward. Finished, she made a sharp right turn and headed seaward. Kathi had run home to get some buckets and Tom gave the tired turtle mom a couple of showers on her way back to the ocean....which she seemed to enjoy! We applauded her as she crashed into the waves. It took her 64 min. to nest - ocean to ocean. We did not move the nest but will keep a close watch on it for high tides.”

Turtles aren’t the only ones encouraged to make their nest at DeBordieu…. (sorry, couldn't resist!) for details, contact TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com, or 843-455-4523.
